PEBMANEN T HAIR-WAITING APPLIANCE Application filed March 21, 1928. Serial No. 263,493.

My invention relates broadly to hair waving appliances and more particularly to a device for wrapping hair in an electric heating appliance for curling operations.

This application is a continuation in part of my application Serial No. 203,328, filed .in an improved manner by which a perma nent wave may be imparted to the hair.

Another object of my invention is to provide aconstruction of winder for back wrapping the hair within an electric heater during curling operation in such'manner that a permanent wave may imparted to the hair more nearly resembling natural wavy hair.

Still another object of my invention is to rovide a construction of winding device for air wavers where the winding device is provided with an outwardly extending wall and slot with an arm extending integrally from the wall for guiding the strands of hair in a flat ribbon-like formation to a position by which the hair may be tightly'wrapped and stretched upon a rod member within the heater, the hair being held in necessary position during the heating operat on.

A further object of my invention resides in the construction of a winder having a substantially cylindrical upper portion and an A outwardly flared lower portion terminating in an arm by'which strands of hair may be guided through a notch and back wrapped upon a rod member as the winder is advanced axially with respect to the rod.

A still further object of my invention is to provide a winding device formed of heat resisting material enabling the strands of hair to be wrapped in the heated chamber and the strands controlled by a heat resisting winding member which does not tend to absorb and retain heat by reason of its close proximity to the side walls of the heater, but remains sufficiently cool so as not to overheat and ruin the ends or dryer portions of the hair, allowing the strands of hair to be handled as may be required for curling operations.

My invention further resides in the structure of integrally formed hair curling device for heaters as described more fully in the specification hereinafter following by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation showing the hair curling device of my invention in a position for Wrapping the hair around the central rod member of the heater; Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view through the hair wrapping appliance; F ig'. 3 is a side elevation partially broken away to show the interior arrangement of the wrapped hair winder and protective covering and device for maintaining the protective covering over the protective wrapping in the hair waving appliance of my invention; Fig. 4 is an enlarged side elevation of the heat resisting winder for the hair waving appliance of my invention; and Fig. 5 is a top plan view of the winder shown in Fig. 4.

I have found that in order to properly impart Waves to the air, the hair should be back wrapped upon itself in the heating appliance and then carefully protected from uneven heating, especially for the ends or dryer portions of the hair. The appliance of my invention includes a type of winder formed from an integral piece of heat resisting material Where the strands of hair may be back wrapped or over wrapped along a central rod and thereafter covered by a protective wrapping which is maintained in position during the curling process. The winding device is formed from a single piece of heat resisting material substantially cylindrical throughout one portion of its length and conical shaped throughout another por-' tion of its length with a substantially V shaped notch cut therein and tapering to opposite walls of the device and terminating in an arm forming means for guiding the hair to over wrapped or back wrapped position upon the central retaining rod.

Referring to the drawings in more detail reference character 1 designates the central rod member having a head 2 at one end thereof and secured to the heat resistin plate member 3 at the opposite end thereo The plate member 3 is spaced from anotherheat resisting plate member 4 by heat resisting members 5. A soft pad such as felt 6 is carried by the plate member 4. plate member 7 is mounted for angular movement on plate member 3 and provldes a support for the fibrous washer members 8 which form a tight closure with respect to the heating chamber and serve to absorb condensation which might otherwise leak upon the head of a patronduring the hair curling operation. The strands of hair are represented at 9 as extending from the head of a patron through an aperture in pad 6, a corresponding aperture inplate 4, a corresponding aperture in plate 3 and an aperture in plate 7 which may be aligned with the other apertures or shifted with respect thereto for locking the strands of hair in the heater chamber. The winder is represented at 14 as having an upper cylindrical portion which may be serrated or roughened to permit the winder to be readily twisted by the fingers of the attendant. The lower portion of the winder is substantially conical shaped as represented at 15. A substantially V shaped notch is provided in the conical shaped walls of the winder as represented at 16. An integrally extending arm 17 is provided at the lower extremity of the notch 16 serving as a means of guiding the strands of hair 9 into the notch 16 and upon the rod 1. The'strands of hair 9 are shown curled upon the rod at 10 in such a position that the next succeeding layer 11 is over wrapped upon the strands at 10. The strands of hair represented at 12 are back wrapped upon the strands of hair already wrapped upon the rod to a final position illustrated in Fig. 3. Thereafter, a protective cloth strip 18 is wrapped over the hair and maintained in place by means of a guard constituted by two downwardly depending arms 19 and 22. These arms are formed from heat resisting material and are provided with gripping faces 20. A bridge 21 interconnects the heat resisting side strips 19 and 22 and embraces the rod 1. The assembled appliance is then covered by the heating chamber shown more clearly in my application hereinbefore referred to, and the hair in its wrapped condition subjected to the indirect influence of heat over a predetermined period of time.

I have found the hair curling device of my invention extremely practical and successful in its use an inexpensive in its manufacture.

'It will be observed that the hair curling device may be molded from heat resisting material into a single integral member and that metallic parts are not used in the curling device.

While I have described my invention in certain of its preferred embodiments, I de sire that it be understood that modifications may be made and that no limitations upon my invention are intended other than are imposed by the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows:
